Sea God's Wrath, Sacrificing One's Life for Justice

Ye Chen had already hidden himself away.

This battle...

He could not quite gauge his limits. He did not know whether he could use the Wooden Human or the True Thousand Hands in his current state.

Nor did he know whether they could injure Dong Shizhang after he used them.

All of this was unknown!

Dong Shizhang's control over water was far too powerful. With a casual wave of his hand, he could force Lan Batian to retreat again and again, or even make him consider taking the attack with his body.

Ye Chen was caught in a terrible dilemma. His strength was still too low...

Meanwhile, a certain system was ranting furiously...

Damn it, you have an Advanced Sage Body now! Go up there and beat the crap out of him!

Ever since I came to this world, I've wanted to see the real-life version of the True Thousand Hands...

Lan Batian charged straight ahead, disrupting Dong Shizhang's vision head-on.

Bai Zhan concealed himself among the chaotic icebergs, waiting for a chance to strike.

Zhang Daosheng controlled the ice with one hand, supporting the other two in their movements.

He helped Lan Batian block Dong Shizhang's attacks and created ice blocks for Bai Zhan to stand on.

This infuriated Dong Shizhang. Although his strength far surpassed theirs, this Ice Element fellow was simply too troublesome.

Dong Shizhang had originally fought without a care in the world, but the more he fought, the angrier he became, and the heavier his killing intent grew.

Lan Batian narrowed his eyes slightly. "Mountain Breaker!"

His fist thundered out, but Dong Shizhang's shield blocked it once again.

"Old Dong! Your heart's in chaos!" Lan Batian roared.

Dong Shizhang was slightly taken aback. The pale-blue Water Shield before him instantly shattered like a block of ice.

"What?! My shield?"

Dong Shizhang had never dreamed that his shield could be frozen, too!

"Die!" The wings behind Lan Batian beat hard, and he poured even more strength into his hand.

His fist struck squarely into Dong Shizhang's chest!

Dong Shizhang flew backward, a gush of blood surging from his mouth.

"Good boy, your strength has improved."

Dong Shizhang looked at Lan Batian and laughed instead of getting angry, only to suddenly notice Lan Batian grinning at him with a roguish expression.

"Sword One, Mountain Severing!"

Dong Shizhang slowly turned his head, disbelief filling his eyes.

Bai Zhan held his sword in one hand and thrust it upward from below.

A violent wave of Sword Qi slashed out, and Dong Shizhang was horrified.

This was no laughing matter. At most, a fist would cause internal injuries.

If he took this Sword Qi head-on, he would probably lose half his life!

His body was not that tough yet.

"Ninefold Water Mirror!" Dong Shizhang roared.

The earlier Water Shield had been frozen, so he could only use an even stronger defense.

The moisture in the air was instantly drawn out by Dong Shizhang, forming nine enormous mirror-like walls of water.

Zhang Daosheng narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly raised his right hand.

"Absolute Zero!"

He intended to freeze the Ninefold Water Mirror.

Dong Shizhang tried to steady himself, but that punch from earlier had been Lan Batian's full-strength blow.

Although he could fly, it was merely simple floating in the air, using the push of spiritual energy to adjust his direction. It did not mean he could move however he pleased!

Dong Shizhang anxiously watched as his Ninefold Water Mirror slowly crystallized.

"Bastard!"

Bai Zhan slashed out with his sword, then used the iceberg to leap into the air.

The Sword Qi cut through several layers of the Water Mirror before finally stopping.

Even after freezing solid, this defense was still incredibly powerful.

Dong Shizhang slammed into the Water Mirror and gasped for breath.

"Hahahaha, I nearly got killed by a bunch of ants like you..."

Bai Zhan suddenly descended from the sky.

"Sword Two, Mountain Breaker!"

Bai Zhan gripped his sword with both hands and brought it down in a single slash.

Dong Shizhang looked up. "Boy Bai, can't you let me catch my breath?!"

Dong Shizhang stood atop the Water Mirror—or rather, the Ice Mirror—and pushed off with both feet.

He dodged the attack.

Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded...

Lan Batian stood high in the sky, looking down at Dong Shizhang from above.

After Bai Zhan's Sword Two was dodged, he plunged his long sword into the iceberg and hung from it. An ice pillar then appeared beneath his feet, finally giving Bai Zhan somewhere to stand.

"Are you still going to fight, Old Dong?" Lan Batian looked coldly at Dong Shizhang.

Everyone knew that a person in the Myriad Stars Realm was not so easy to kill.

If they could make the other side withdraw, that would be a good outcome too.

But Dong Shizhang did not answer. Instead, he turned to look into the distance.

"It should be about time."

Lan Batian was somewhat puzzled, but Bai Zhan felt a deep sense of foreboding.

"Not good! Everyone, run!"

Dong Shizhang raised himself even higher, looking down from above over the entire Zanghai City.

"What a pity. After guarding Zanghai City for so many years, I'm actually going to destroy it with my own hands today."

A nostalgic look appeared on Dong Shizhang's face.

The next second, his expression twisted viciously.

"This move..."

"I like to call it the Sea God's Wrath!"

Behind Dong Shizhang, a wave hundreds of meters high rose into view.

Zhang Daosheng and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Countless people in the city had just awakened from the lion's roar when they saw the wave hundreds of meters high on the horizon.

They immediately fell to their knees helplessly.

...An aura of despair spread across the entire city.

"Dong Shizhang! Are you trying to destroy Zanghai City?! Do you know what you're doing?!"

The wave hundreds of meters high hung in midair like a divine miracle.

It awaited Dong Shizhang's command.

This was the reason Dong Shizhang had been stationed in Zanghai City back then!

But now... he was controlling the seawater with the intention of destroying Zanghai City!

Once this wave crashed down, Zanghai City would be doomed!

Although a wave hundreds of meters high could not cover the entire city, its tremendous impact would be enough to bring down skyscrapers and drown countless people!

"Hm? Of course I know what I'm doing." Dong Shizhang smiled faintly. "I'm destroying your Zanghai City~"

Bai Zhan was enraged. "Dong Shizhang! Are you truly going to disregard the tens of millions of people in this city?!"

Dong Shizhang froze slightly and fell silent.

After slowly closing his eyes, he raised his right hand and extended two fingers, bending them slightly.

He took a deep breath. "Don't blame me..."

Bai Zhan still wanted to say something when a voice came from behind Zhang Daosheng.

"Wait!!" Ye Chen stepped forward.

Dong Shizhang's brows relaxed, and he said mockingly, "You want me to wait? So I have to wait?"

"If you destroy a Human Race city, even you will be placed on the Human Race's kill list, won't you?"

Ye Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure in the sky.

"I'll go with you! Spare Zanghai City!"

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He had to find a way to kill Dong Shizhang now.

"No!" Zhang Daosheng roared.

Ye Chen did not turn around and repeated, "Spare them, and I'll go with you."

In truth, Zanghai City was a Human Race city, but to Ye Chen, Zhang Daosheng and Bai Zhan behind him were more important.

After all, as someone who had neither father nor mother, experiencing warmth again was truly addictive.

"Xiao Chen..."

"Little Brother Ye..."

Bai Zhan and Lan Batian also looked at Ye Chen in shock.

Dong Shizhang froze, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

"Ye Chen, you're quite something! You're right! If Zanghai City were destroyed, I wouldn't come out of it unscathed either!"

"Dare you say that again?!"

Dong Shizhang's voice swept across the entire city!

Ye Chen took a deep breath and bellowed, "I'll go with you!!!"

"Spare Zanghai City!!!"

Zhang Daosheng's nose stung, but his attitude remained resolute. "No! I refuse!"

He grabbed Ye Chen, who was about to step forward.

Ye Chen lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Daosheng.

With a faint smile, he pried Zhang Daosheng's hand away.

Bai Zhan and Lan Batian were helpless as well. The wave before them came crashing down.

No one could stop it...

The city would inevitably suffer countless casualties.

On one side was Ye Chen, and on the other was Zanghai City...

It was an impossible choice.
